Law No. 20 of 2003 article 3 explains that national education functions to develop capabilities and form dignified national character and civilization in the framework of educating the nation's life. Aims to develop the potential of students to become human beings who believe in and fear God almighty, have noble character, are healthy, knowledgeable, capable, creative, independent and become citizens of a democratic and responsible state. However, the implementation of character education in the national education system has not shown a significant success rate. Therefore, an alternative is needed to bridge this failure so that a national education is formed that is able to produce a generation with character. This study aims to analyze and describe alternative student character education systems in the era of society 5.0. The alternative to be offered is the concept of character education in the Islamic boarding school curriculum. As well as explaining the relevance of the pesantren curriculum in building character education in the era of society 5.0. The research method used is literature review (literature review) with the concept of the PRISMA method (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses). In practice, the pesantren curriculum is divided into several concepts according to the type of pesantren. Traditional Islamic boarding schools implement the traditional curriculum using the sorogan, bandongan and wetonan methods. Meanwhile, modern pesantren (khalaf) use the national curriculum but do not completely abandon the concept of salaf pesantren education. And in combined pesantren (salaf-khalaf) the curriculum used is a combination of the traditional curriculum and the modern curriculum. Implementation of the curriculum in the salaf pesantren is to maintain the traditional education system. The curriculum in Khalaf Islamic boarding school is by adopting a modern education system but still in traditional nuances. Meanwhile, in combination boarding schools is to practice the rules of almuhafadhah 'ala salafusshaleh wal akhdu biljadidil ashlah (keeping old traditions that are still relevant and adopting new, better traditions). The concept and objectives of the pesantren curriculum are aligned with the goals of national education, namely building the life of a multicultural nation and building a nation's civilization that is cultured, intelligent, noble and contributes to the development of life. The relevance of the pesantren curriculum is embodied in 8 (eight) character forms, namely: Religious character, tolerance, independence, democracy, love of the motherland, communicative and friendly, national spirit and fond of reading. As a result, the pesantren curriculum is present as an alternative education system in achieving the goal of building national character.
